Find value of x and y

Mathematics
1 answer:
marshall27 [118]3 years ago
8 0

Answer:

x = 17\sqrt{3}, y = 34

Step-by-step explanation:

Since the triangle is right use trig ratios to find x and y

note exact values sin30° = \frac{1}{2}, tan30° = \frac{1}{\sqrt{3} }

sin30° = \frac{opposite}{hypotenuse} = \frac{17}{y}

multiply both sides by y

y sin30° = 17 ( divide both sides by sin30° )

y = \frac{17}{\frac{1}{2} } = 34

tan30° = \frac{opposite}{adjacent} = \frac{17}{x}

multiply both sides by x

x tan30° = 17 ( divide both sides by tan30° )

x = \frac{17}{\frac{1}{\sqrt{3} } } = 17\sqrt{3}

A sales person is paid a weekly salary of $760, plus a commission of 7.5% of all her sales for the week. Express her weekly inco
Elis [28]

Answer:

1. We can see that salesperson's weekly income is the sum of her constant weekly salary ($760) and a commission which is variable and depends on her weekly sales.

So, if we say that y is her weekly income and x is her weekly sales, we can write this as:

y = 760 + 0.075x

Note that we had to change percentage to decimal number dividing it by 100.

2  Since for each value of x there is only one corresponding value of y, we can say that this is a function. For any value of x we input there is only one solution we get - that is the main feature of function and a way to tell if something is really a function.

Since this is a function, it can also be written as:

f(x) = 760 + 0.075x

3. Domain of a function is, basically, set of all values of x for which the function can work. That practically means that, since x is weekly sale, it can not be negative (one cannot make -$500 sale, for example). However, it is possible that she doesn't make a sale one week, making it possible for x to be 0. Also, the value of her sales doesn't have to be integer (it is quite possible that she makes $673.50 sale).

All this means that appropriate domain for this function are positive real numbers including 0.

The formula for the volume of a sphere is V=(4/3) (pi) r^3. if r is doubled then you get 2r as the radius and V=(4/3) (pi) * 8r^3 so the volume is eight times bigger than the original  r  value. if r is tripled the r =3r  and (3r)^3 so the volume is 27 times bigger. If r  is multiplied by  n  the radius is  nr  and (nr)^3 =n^3  r^3, Therefore, the volume is n^3 times bigger than the original.

What do I do for this question
padilas [110]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

a + 9 = 15

a = 15 - 9

a = 6

c + 9 = 16

     c = 16 - 9

     c = 7

d = c + 9

   = 7 + 9

  = 16

e = d + 15

  = 16 + 15

e = 31

P(selecting a boy) = total boy /total pupils = 16/31
